  • the rack BMS 100 transmits the failure flag together with the measurement data to the communication conversion device 2000
  • the communication conversion device 2000 includes the memory 230 and stores the measurement data in the memory 230 when the failure flag is activated. That is, if the server 3000 fails to receive measurement data due to communication failure, fire, etc., it does not generate the reception confirmation signal.
  • the rack BMS 100 fails to check the reception confirmation signal for a predetermined time, the rack BMS 100 activates the failure flag and transmits it to the communication conversion device 2000, and the communication conversion device 2000 stores the measurement data in the memory 230 according to the activation of the failure flag.
  • the memory 230 is composed of two or more memories, and the communication conversion device 2000 increments the index by one whenever the failure flag is activated, and stores the measurement data in the memory 230 having the corresponding index. When all the measurement data is stored in the plurality of memories 230, the index is reset to 1 again, and the measurement data stored in the the memory 230 is overwritten with the newly received measurement data.
  • the memory 230 is composed of five memories, and whenever the failure flag is activated, the index is incremented to sequentially store measurement data from the first memory to the fifth memory.
  • the index is incremented to five and the measurement data is stored up to the fifth memory, the index is reset and the measurement data stored in the memories is sequentially overwritten from the first memory to the fifth memory. That is, when the activated failure flag is received, measurement data is stored in the order from the first memory to the fifth memory. If the failure flag is activated even after the measurement data is stored up to the fifth memory, the measurement data input is overwritten over the stored measurement data in the order of from the first memory to the fifth memory.
  • the communication conversion device 2000 receives the read command together with the index value from the external controller 4000 over CAN communication, reads the measurement data of the memory 230 corresponding to the received index value, and transmits it to the server 3000. Therefore, in the present invention, since the communication conversion device 2000 stores the measurement data that could not be transmitted to the server 3000 and the stored measurement data is read using the external controller 4000, dual management of measurement data is possible, thereby capable of preventing loss of measurement data.
  • FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a method of operating the energy storage system according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • the method of operating the energy storage system may include a process of receiving the measurement data and the failure flag of the battery rack (S110), a process of determining whether the failure flag is activated (S120), a process of storing the measurement data in a memory when the failure flag is activated (S130), a process of storing the measurement data in memory by incrementing an index whenever the failure flag is activated (S140, S150), a process of overwriting the measurement data into a memory by resetting an index when a failure flag exceeding a predetermined index is activated (S160), a process of inputting the read command together with the index value from the external controller (S170), and a process of analyzing the measurement data of the memory corresponding to the index value or storing the measurement data in the server (S180).

In addition, the rack BMS 100 transmits the failure flag together with the measurement data to the communication conversion device 2000. That is, the rack BMS 100 may activate the failure flag depending on whether or not the reception completion signal from the server 3000 is received. When the reception completion signal from the server 3000 is not received, the rack BMS 100 may activate the failure flag and transmit the failure flag to the communication conversion device 2000.
  • the communication conversion device 2000 receiving the battery rack measurement data and the failure flag subjects the measurement data to communication conversion and transmits the measurement data to the server 3000. That is, the communication conversion device 2000 receives the measurement data of the CAN frame format from the rack BMS 100, converts the data into the measurement data of the TCP packet format, and transmits it to the server 300. In addition, the communication conversion device 2000 determines whether the failure flag is activated. That is, if the measurement data is received, the server 3000 may generate the reception confirmation signal and transmit it to the rack BMS 100. The rack BMS 100 may activate the failure flag when not receiving the reception confirmation signal for a predetermined time, and the communication conversion device 2000 may determine whether the failure flag received from the rack BMS 100 is activated.

That is, the buffer unit may store the previous measurement data until the next measurement data is received.
  • the previous measurement data stored in the buffer unit may be stored in the memory 230 without being overwritten with the next measurement data under the control of the control unit 220.
  • the control unit 220 may store the measurement data, which is temporarily stored in the buffer unit, in the memory 230 according to the activated failure flag.
  • the measurement data temporarily stored in the buffer unit may be stored in the memory 230, and the measurement data may be sequentially stored in the plurality of memories 230 by incrementing the index value of the memory 230.

That is, when the activated failure flag is received, the measurement data is stored in the order from the first memory to the fifth memory.
  • S160 When a failure flag exceeding a predetermined index is activated the index is reset and the measurement data is overwritten into the memory. That is, when all the measurement data is stored in the plurality of memories 230, the index is reset to one again, and the measurement data stored in the memory 230 is overwritten with the newly received measurement data.
  • the memory 230 is composed of five memories, and whenever the failure flag is activated, the index is incremented and the measurement data is sequentially stored from the first memory to the fifth memory and when the index is incremented to five and the measurement data is stored up to the fifth memory, the index is reset and the the measurement data is sequentially overwritten from the first memory to the fifth memory.
  • the measurement data is stored in the order from the first memory to the fifth memory. If the failure flag is activated even after the measurement data is stored up to the fifth memory, the measurement data input is overwritten in the order from the first memory to the fifth memory.
